Senators Preparing For Budget Debate

Recently, the Senate Committee on Ways and Means released a state budget proposal for the next fiscal year. The Fiscal Year 2022 budget bill does not depend on any broad-based tax increases, shows sensitivity with regard to its withdrawal from the stabilization fund, and provides significant resource increases for cities and towns and local school districts. 

Senate members have proposed amendments to that bill and we are scheduled to debate those amendment - more than 900 were filed, next week. You can read the budget and the amendments by clicking this link: https://malegislature.gov/Budget/SenateDebate
